Ninja Professional Blender BL610 vs Ninja Nutri-Blender BN300WM

The Ninja Professional BL610 is the better pick for households that blend full pitchers of smoothies, crush ice in volume or process food for several people. The Nutri-Blender BN300WM is the better pick for one person who wants a quick single serving and will store the cup in a cabinet. The Professional has the stronger 1000-watt motor, a 72 oz jar and four speeds; the Nutri-Blender trades that for a 20 oz to-go cup and a push-to-blend base. Owners of the Professional praise its power but call it bulky; owners of the personal blender like the size but find it limited to small batches.

• Choose the Ninja Professional 72oz Countertop Blender if you blend for a family, crush ice often, or want one machine for smoothies, soups and food prep.
• Choose the Ninja Nutri-Blender 600-Watt Personal Blender if you make one smoothie at a time and want a cup you can carry and rinse in seconds.
